Why the Star Wars Movies Keep Losing Directors: The Pizza Hutt delivery driver

It was my oldest grandson’s birthday party and it was a Star Wars themed event so my youngest daughter who is the mother of the young man put heart and soul into giving him the party of a lifetime. She personally decorated the house for this party with creations she mostly made from scratch and it was quite spectacular. To match her efforts she wanted all of us to dress up so the first time that I can ever remember I put together a costume of my favorite Star Wars character—Han Solo, and had a lot of fun doing it. In the process I learned some things that are worth sharing. One thing that became obvious to me as I acquired all the Han Solo costume pieces needed to get everything together for this party was how similar it was to the kind of equipment needed for Cowboy Fast Draw and that while wearing it, I felt more like a western character than a science fiction icon—which Han Solo has always been.

Naturally through small talk I have been asked why I like Star Wars so much and my reply is usually because it’s the best western that movie makers can produce these days. As much as George Lucas wanted tell a story about a hippie idea of eastern religion defeating western greed through the “force of others” his creation of Han Solo really is the key to the entire Star Wars universe. The character so wonderfully played by Harrison Ford is an Ayn Rand kind of superstar who advances the story wonderfully, and gives everything resonance. George Lucas always intended Luke Skywalker to be the hero of the movies, but it was Han Solo that really took over the story as the central and most popular character. I knew all this before I put together as authentic of a costume as I could, but wearing it complete with the gun belt instantly knew where I was. The gun belt was the key, it felt as good as my rig for Cowboy Fast Draw and remanded me that it’s not lightsabers and talk about The Force, but Star Wars is more about “having a good blaster at your side” than anything. Lucas may have intended for Han Solo to be redeemed by the end of A New Hope into the kind of unselfish character that hippies were wanting to portray in 1970’s San Francisco—but the love that the director had of fast cars and Saturday Morning Republic serials featuring cowboys won the day and it was those influences that turned Star Wars into a simple science fiction drama and placed it into the realm of something truly special. Star Wars is the best western movie made in the modern era—and by that I mean the last 40 years.

I don’t think George Lucas meant to make Han Solo such a powerful character but as the story evolved it was the old smuggler and that capitalist sector of characters from bounty hunters down to crime lords who took over as the featured plot lines that most captured the imaginations of fans. People didn’t want to grow up so much to become Jedi in the temple fighting the Sith—they wanted to be the smuggler and hot-shot pilot flying the Millennium Falcon and solely saving the galaxy. In his best moments Han Solo is not a team player but is someone always used to being in charge and finds a way to be successful even when the odds were terribly stacked against him. When they tried to water Han Solo down into a group think character, he loses much of his power and I think this was something that mystified George Lucas a lot over the evolution of that character. George Lucas the hippie who knew mostly dope smokers and San Francisco radicals found it an unintended consequence. But the little boy who grew up watching serialized westerns and swashbuckling action adventure movies found in Han Solo a trusted voice from the past—and wisely Lucas went with it out of the needs of his new company Lucasfilm to pay all the bills of his various projects—even though it bothered him that Luke wasn’t the star of the movie as it was always intended.

I bought 21 pizzas from Pizza Hut for this party to be served on a table in front of Jabba the Hutt. It was a cute idea that my daughter had to tie the two things together so when the pizza delivery guy arrived he found himself pulled into the Star Wars universe by default, and he was having a good time. While I was paying the guy and walking him back to his truck we talked about Star Wars and why the new Han Solo movie and now Episode 9 had lost their directors. In fact, since Lucasfilm announced their slate of 6 new Star Wars movies four directors for those projects have bitten the dust and either been fired, or have quit. The trade media for Hollywood really hasn’t understood why but this is where the rebel George Lucas always shinned brightest. In spite of his liberal tendencies, Lucas at heart was a small business guy whose father owned a stationery store in Modesto, California. Naturally, Lucas hated the studio system because of their static approach to filmmaking. And it was that part of him who shinned through Han Solo—the do whatever he wants, guy—which made Star Wars so special and Ayn Randish. These modern kids raised in the studio system may have loved Star Wars growing up, but that doesn’t mean they “get it” when it comes to putting what they love up on-screen. Kathy Kennedy who runs Lucasfilm now apprenticed under George Lucas for most of her adult life and she has an understanding of what makes Star Wars work even if it’s difficult to put into words. She knew instinctively why her new film directors weren’t having success in developing their Star Wars stories—for instance reports from the new Han Solo movie set which is coming out in May of 2018 were that the directors were turning the story more into an Ace Ventura comedy instead of a western set in space. So Kathy brought in Ron Howard who has been around long enough to know at least how to mimic what George Lucas had stumbled upon so many years before. The pizza guy agreed with me, Star Wars to work had to pay tribute to its western-like background—without it the storylines flounder and fail—much like many people felt the prequel films did. I personally liked them because I like politics, but without the swashbuckling element of the matinee idols of the 1950s, Star Wars is pretty boring. I know that, obviously Kathy Kennedy understands that much—but more importantly, the Pizza Hutt delivery guy understood it.

The exchange of values has always been something I could share with my kids through Star Wars and obviously that is getting passed on down to a new generation. As the kids dressed up there were a lot of Kylo Ren costumes, and even some of the adults wore Kylo Ren t-shirts. Little do they know that by the time we get to Episode 9 that Han Solo’s now infamous son will turn back to good and help Rey restore goodness to the imaginative galaxy set a long time ago, far, far away. Kylo Ren will turn out to be a good guy—which I think is a very good thing. Again, it goes back to Han Solo again, without him and his redemptive qualities, Star Wars falls apart as something special in our human culture. For me its fun to be able to share these values on a platform that allows for at least the discussion and Star Wars does that better than anything else out there presently. That wasn’t always the case, back when George Lucas was growing up, there were a lot of things like Star Wars out there that communicated value effectively and our culture reflected it. These days, not the case—values have been cast aside by movie directors trying to make movies about socialism, which people don’t like, instead of capitalist westerns which people do, and they are often mystified as to why people like the Pizza Hutt delivery guy don’t like their product. (Hey, I gave the pizza delivery guy a huge tip for his capitalist appreciations and enthusiasm. He understood.) Wearing the authentic Han Solo costume for me told the whole story—it took what I had only thought of before and applied it to reality. Han Solo was a gunfighter and that is a concept specifically unique to American culture and was the heart of every good western. That is what makes Star Wars work, and why it is such a good device to teach morality stories about good versus evil. It is those values which I’m glad I can share with these new generations which was on full display at my grandson’s birthday party. It was a lot of fun to be a part of.

Transference: The woman in the kitchen

People really should read Dinesh D’Souza’s new book The Big Lie. It’s truly well done and surprisingly packed with information. I say that because I have read a lot of these types of modern political books and I seldom learn much from them but in this one I have learned quite a lot. I would attribute that to something that D’Souza has uncovered that is exploding before our eyes, and that is this propensity of our collective society to function from a mass psychological trauma induced onto us from our early educations and that is to function from a gross case of mass transference. Transference psychologically speaking is when a villain claims to be the hero or vice versa and shockingly it was on full display at the C-SPAN event shown below where Dinesh debated on stage with two members of the Alinsky Institute, David Alinsky son of the infamous Saul Alinsky and Ralph Benko. Benko in particular who claimed to be a “right winger” was using transference to sell the merit of his institute which was incredibly interesting.

On a mass scale what the Donald Trump presidency has exposed is something we all knew was there from the beginning. The villains who are really guilty of serious crimes are attempting to pass those off onto passivist Republicans which has worked for many years but because Trump won’t accept that guilt a major clash is ensuing. This is exposing the Democratic Party because there is nowhere to hide their crimes if Republicans won’t allow them to transfer that guilt to the GOP as has been going on for over one hundred years that I can tell. For instance, it was Democrats who supported the KKK and slavery. I was Democrats who inspired Hitler to give rise to his Nazis. It was Democrats that colluded with Russia. It was Democrats that destroyed evidence. It was Democrats that issued many terrible pardons to enemies of the United States. It was Democrats who want to use the power of the state to control all our lives in every way imaginable. Republicans are against all those things yet by the psychological trick of transference they have accepted the sins of their rivals because they were defenseless against the way Saul Alinsky used his tactics to take command of the entire party giving people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton power they otherwise wouldn’t have had. Watching Benko and David Alinsky not be able to defend the things Dinesh D’Souza said about Saul Alinsky was truly fascinating. They spent most of their time trying to defend the dedication of Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals to Lucifer than in defending the acts of transference that the Democratic Party has been using to beat Republicans through the media they control by associating their guilty acts onto an innocent party using Alinsky tactics to apply it.

To put the situation in a way that most people can understand transference would be when a man who is cheating on his wife quite audaciously comes home with perfume from another woman on him, and lipstick smeared on his collar then starts yelling at his wife who is just there cooking dinner accusing her of sleeping with other men. The woman knows she hasn’t slept with other men and that she has been busy getting food for the meal she’s preparing yet now she has to defend the accusations of her husband. If she fails to answer her husband’s criticisms she’ll look like she’s hiding something. If she does answer them then she gives value to the charge by acknowledging it. Either way, she is forced to make a move of defense or silence, both of which will get her accused of the act. It’s an old liberal trick that has been going on for a long time and it’s odd that an entire political party could use a psychological mechanism to advance such an evil.

One of the primary themes of the great American novel Atlas Shrugged is the idea of making innocent people an accomplice into mass, group evil through transference. This is done by getting people who are the movers and shakers of the world to admit to some level of selfishness if they won’t share their gains with people in need—without addressing why people are in need. This is essentially how Mitt Romney lost his election against Barack Obama. Democrats painted Romney as selfish, rich, and under using women as a role under his management. Romney in fact was far from selfish and he had a history of being very fair to women, but when Democrats put that transference application to him he couldn’t defend it because he did feel guilt about his wealth. That hook along froze him into inaction and allowed Obama to win the presidency.

Years ago when I was doing a radio interview on a popular daytime talk show I was involved in a lot of controversy and the host was trying to get me to apologize on the air. It was baffling to me why this person cared so much to get an apology and this is something that is going on constantly these days—where people are being encouraged to apologize for everything. Well, I meant what I had said in spite of the public backlash, and I knew all this psychology of transference so I stuck with my guns much to virtually everyone’s professional sensitivities. To apologize to an unidentified group of women whom I said had asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match would be to admit guilt. Well, I wasn’t guilty. What I said was a factual statement in the metaphorical application of it and the circumstance for which I said it. By apologizing because it sounded harsh or was politically incorrect as determined by the reality of Democratic transference I would have undercut my entire platform—which I wasn’t about to do. The Republicans around me at the time instinctively wanted to apologize and wanted me to do so—which I wouldn’t so we all went our separate ways. They should have listened to me then because a few years later Trump became president doing essentially what I had done—not allowing the transfer of guilt from one Party to the other by accepting responsibility for it.

The only thing the woman in the kitchen could do when her husband came home to accuse her of cheating was to point out that he was the one with the signs of cheating for which his only comeback from that would be to rant, rave and threaten her with violence to shut her up—and that is what the political left is doing now that Donald Trump is refusing to apologize or accept any guilt from the Democrats. Republicans on the Hill simply don’t know how to play the game any other way. The way to beat the political left is to not accept the transference of their guilt. If they threaten violence, then we must be willing to crush them just like the woman who is the victim of being cheated on must do against her husband. Whatever she must do she must implement, like having a gun, or a can of mace—something that can overtake her husband if he attempts violence against her because she won’t accept his transference of guilt. Donald Trump understands this issue, and I have been trying to teach it to people for years—and thankfully people are starting to listen. But even I am shocked by the level of transference articulated in D’Souza’s new book. I suppose I never really thought much about the Nazis and why they hated the Jews, or how they have more in common with Democrats than Republicans. But they do and the reason why is transference. Democrats are guilty of many crimes, but Republicans have come to their rescue so many times—it has enabled such a vast evil to be unleashed through good intentions.

The way Republicans have behaved was similar to the wife in saying, “honey, no, I haven’t been with anyone.” You can check my cell phone, you can put a camera in our room, you can ask our neighbors—I haven’t even been out of the house.” Meanwhile the husband has naked pictures of many girls on his cell phone and his wife doesn’t even know the password—so she could never check him out. That dysfunction has to stop for Republicans. They should be thankful that Trump is fighting on their behalf this physiological deficiency. Because it happens far more than most people want to believe and each occurrence is a function of evil. By endorsing such evil through shared responsibility—Republicans perpetuate it. The moral thing to do is not to accept any guilt, even though we were all taught from infants up to the present to do so, and to keep the blame where it belongs—on the Democratic Party and their vile soldiers of disinformation.

Democrats are Destroying Hollywood: A terrible August box office can be summed up by how out-of-touch James Cameron is

Something I’ve always done since I was a little kid was use box office receipts to measure the health of human culture. I’ve been interested in this kind of thing as long as I’ve been able to read and its one of the first things I study each morning as part of my information tracking. The reasons are complicated but you can learn a lot about what makes human beings tick by studying what they are willing to spend at a movie theater on a two-hour story. I would argue effectively that studying box office numbers is a more accurate way to measure human endeavor than expensive passive polling.

With the exception of some Disney releases and Warner Bros this has been a horrendous year for movies produced lazily and pontificated with enormous amounts of liberalized messaging. Shockingly even well-known Hollywood types like Ron Howard and Jim Cameron have been very active in protesting Donald Trump’s presidency for instance which says a lot about the people making movies these days. It used to be that many of the top actors in the business were also hanging out at the RNC in California but not anymore. Republicans have been pushed out of the business as the movies that have been green lit are largely financed by liberals who want to see liberal films communicating issues that are important to them. Movies now aren’t so much being made to fulfill a market need, they are being used to communicate Democratic ideas and in a conservative America with a House, a Senate and an Executive Branch are all to varying degrees Republican, the movie studies have obviously missed a grand opportunity. And it shows culminating in this disastrous upcoming weekend in August 2017 articulated by the following article:

WEEKEND PREVIEW: We are looking at what may be the worst August weekend in over 20 years with a top twelve that could struggle to reach a combined $50 million, something that hasn’t happened in August since 1993. In fact, while this will undoubtedly be the worst weekend of 2017 thus far, it could be the worst weekend for the top twelve since early September 2014 should Mojo’s current forecast hold. For more context, August is currently pacing 36% behind last year and expected to be the first August since 2000 not to have a new release top $100 million domestically.

That said, this weekend features a trio of new wide releases and several films expanding (or returning to theaters), but beyond that a lot of attention goes to Saturday night’s Mayweather-McGregor fight, which must be taken into account. Current projections anticipate nearly 50 million people will be watching the fight in the U.S. alone, and while this weekend doesn’t feature a debut the size of Avengers: Age of Ultron, which is said to have been affected by the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight in 2015, every little bit counts at a time when domestic box office revenues are down as much as they are right now

The Hitman’s Bodyguard (3,398 theaters) – $10.0 M

Annabelle: Creation (3,565 theaters) – $7.5 M

Leap! (2,575 theaters) – $5.2 M

Dunkirk (2,774 theaters) – $4.4 M

Logan Lucky (3,031 theaters) – $4.0 M

All Saints (845 theaters) – $3.3 M

Wind River (2,095 theaters) – $3.0 M

Birth of the Dragon (1,617 theaters) – $2.8 M

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2,122 theaters) – $2.6 M

Girls Trip (1,768 theaters) – $2.5 M

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4318&p=.htm

The box office shouldn’t be so weak to be effected so easily by the Mayweather-McGregor fight. If there was a good movie released worth seeing, people would go see it then catch the fight in a sports bar after their theater experience. The bottom line is that Hollywood ran out of releases by August from their summer season and what they did release wasn’t that hot to begin with. Granted, a lot of these movies released this year assumed that Hillary Clinton was going to be president so they were in production while last year’s battle between Trump and Clinton was taking place. If I had to say, I don’t think one single studio in all of Hollywood picked Trump to win, except for Malpaso Studios which is run by Clint Eastwood. Sadly that’s the case and is the reason that the box office is so terrible. The Democrats in the studio system don’t understand what people want and they haven’t been willing to listen.

This ignorance was on full display between two of Hollywood’s current great directors, James Cameron and Patty Jenkins who is the wonderful woman who directed this year’s surprise hit Wonder Woman. It is important to note that Wonder Woman brought in nearly $500 million domestically which is quite extraordinary. This led Cameron who has directed massive hits like Avatar, Terminator and Titanic to comment that Wonder Woman was just another example of a male Hollywood industry objectifying women and that it was a step backwards for the industry. That says everything we need to know about the film business at this point when big time directors get it so wrong about what made Wonder Woman so successful. I’ll make a little prediction about James Cameron—I say it right here, right now—the guy has lost it. He hasn’t made a hit movie in nearly a decade and he hasn’t been able to follow-up on his hit Avatar quickly delaying his sequels for some magical time when everything lined up correctly for him. Now he has studios lined up to make four sequels to the Avatar franchise as if he thinks they will be accepted like the first one was. I have news for him—they won’t be. The studios are going to be very disappointed to learn that there is declining support for Avatar because the concept is such a tree hugging hippie mess that audiences will come to reject the premise. The first movie did well because it was new and visually very fresh technically. Well, those days are over and new Avatar movies will have to stand on their story and that’s where the new age of Trump will have an impact on the Avatar franchise.

http://ew.com/movies/2017/08/24/james-cameron-wonder-woman/

Cameron isn’t one who should be lecturing anybody about women—he’s been married 5 times and is quite maniacal on social causes. His value is clearly in science, but when it comes to people he has always missed the mark except for in his earlier work with The Abyss and Titanic. Under pressure Cameron has done his best work and even though he has featured very strong female roles he always had strong male roles to accompany them. Let’s face it, people didn’t show up to see Linda Hamilton play Sarah Conner in the Terminator. It was the Terminator they wanted to see. The female part of the role was something people put up with to get to the Terminator. And that is the same deal with Avatar; people were willing to overlook all the hippie crap to see some spectacular 3D and some great battles. But did Sam Worthington’s character appeal strongly enough to carry four more sequels based on passion for the work—no. Those new movies will struggle once people find out that the plots are largely liberal propaganda projects by a mad scientist director who has lost contact with all reality over the years. Success in Cameron’s case has destroyed what made him good and now that he’s a massive liberal he’s lost touch with his audiences—and that is truly sad.

The rest of Hollywood is no better off. As a society of Democrats—because that’s what it takes if you want to make movies in the studio system these days—they don’t understand their audience, in many cases that audience has changed into a much more traditionalist base. I mean someone out there thought it would be a good idea to make remakes of Ben-Hur, The Magnificent Seven and to make a sequel to Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Sequel—which made like five cents in movie theaters. While the first film did well for a documentary, the second film bombed tremendously as people now largely have lost interest in anything connected to the falsified data of “climate change” which has gotten on people’s nerves. It is theater owners who have taken the biggest hit with Hollywood’s failure to make movies people want to see. With all the Democratic activism going on they are the ones with the real estate that has to exhibit the garbage Hollywood is putting out and they have been the ones to lose the most.

Hollywood is going to have to come to grips with Trump for their own preservation. They won’t be able to destroy him because it was their movie audiences that made Trump to begin with. Trump didn’t change the world; the world changed and made Trump. Hollywood isn’t making movies to appeal to those people; they are making movies to appeal to their Democratic base—which is shrinking. It doesn’t matter how visually spectacular the new Avatar films will be in the future because the content is what will determine success or failure. Given Cameron’s comments on Wonder Woman—he obviously doesn’t know what’s going on now with audiences. And that is because he’s only talking to crazy Democrats these days instead of the Republicans he used to know in truck stops when that’s what he used to do for a living—which was drive a big rig. After seeing Star Wars Cameron quit that job and worked hard to become a film maker on his own –but what these modern filmmakers forget is that movies like Star Wars, and the first couple of Terminators were essentially “Republican” films about small government and decentralized power—not the Democratic dystopia that we see coming today from the Party. Now that political views are known because they have been more vocal about it, audiences are much less forgiving of people like James Cameron than they were before. And that is what is killing the American box office numbers—and is completely sinking Hollywood as an industry. There are of course exceptions, but overall, the industry is in big trouble and the studios are slow to adjust to a world where Trump is president—and a good one at that.

Dow Jones Hits 22,000: Donald Trump, ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and video games

I continue to be amazed at how stupid people are. Of course dear reader you are not stupid because you are reading here, but most people have the intellectual depth of a gold-fish and are clueless about the ways of the world around them. It was the great American novel Atlas Shrugged which clearly predicted what would happen if a hero from the pages of that wonderful classic were to be in the White House. Donald Trump has only been president for six months and the stock market pushed up over 22,000—an unheard of amount of money flowing into the American economy—and why, well, it’s purely from the promise of deregulation and tax cuts. Human beings were never intended to be held under the financial constraints and philosophic parameters of an aristocratic leadership—they were always meant to free themselves of that intellectual bondage and we are seeing it happen under the Trump administration in really spectacular ways.

I will take credit for getting this right from the very beginning. Donald Trump will be the best president we’ve ever had and our economy will bloom in ways it’s never before experienced because of all the reasons established in Atlas Shrugged many years ago by Ayn Rand. Free people of the burden of an aristocratic government that wants to micromanage every little thing in their lives and you will see explosive growth economically and culturally. That was essentially what Atlas Shrugged was all about and it’s an idea that could have only been invented within the United States of America and the capitalism that drives the most financially prolific nation on earth. Money isn’t just something that happens in nature where aristocrats can then distribute it to the people—it’s made by human beings out of productive output and is built out of thin air. The economy of the Stone Age people who built Stonehenge in England is not the economy of our global culture today. The wealth that some people experience is created out of ambition and hard work and that is how the Dow Jones ended up at over 22,000 on August 2, 2017—at the close.

Stupid people who have criticized Donald Trump’s presidency over irrelevant issues, and ironically are the same idiots who have criticized Ayn Rand’s novels can at least see that everything they have put their “faith” into is coming apart, just like at the end of Atlas Shrugged—the story. People are getting a taste of what it feels like to have a Fountainhead in the White House and they like it. They are opening up their wallets and investing big into a future that suddenly looks like it has unlimited potential. All Trump had to do was show up and remove a few regulations and everything has taken off explosively. As I watched the Dow close I knew the human race had just punched through an invisible barrier of economic development that was significantly larger than breaking the sound barrier. Humans have been trying to do something like achieve 22,000 at the Dow Jones since the dawn of time—economic independence not controlled by a hierarchy, but rather a free and open market. Trump is just getting started—there is much more opportunity to come—because our markets are hardly free—but they are getting better.

Those stupid people are that way because they aren’t intellectually curious about things—they tend to believe what people tell them—and when those people are Marxists in the media and within their schools, they are starting with a bad foundation to begin with. But many of those people do find pleasure in video games and within that framework they understand capitalism very intently. The same anarchists who protest the Trump presidency and break out windows over Sea World’s Orca shows are the same people screaming at EA Games message boards that they are at level 100 on Battlefront and are looking for more in-game goodies to inspire them to maintain their subscriptions to the PS Network. The video game industry is all about capitalism from their stories to the wealth they created from both actual currency and virtual currency. Money in any form it takes is about representing value, so when something has value, money can be said to represent it’s ethereal worth. The best video games keep their players engaged for months at a time—or even years by continuously creating incentives to be productive in the game which then benefits the culture that emerges through the programming. I mentioned Battlefront which is an EA game for the Star Wars saga being made under the guidance of Disney. Like a lot of people who are still playing that two-year old game, I’m at level 100, which is as high as you can go. I have more credits than I can spend on the game in a lifetime so what keeps me coming back for more? Well—for me it is the competition and intense fighting that you can do there against people all over the world. But already Battlefront II is about to come out and replace the old Battlefront and they are already trying to get me to pre-order it with all kinds of incentives to entice me to do so. Of course I will because I’ll want a competitive jump on everyone else in the world and so will millions of other players—most of them are under the age of 30 and probably hate Donald Trump. But they understand capitalism within the framework of the videogame industry. Once Battlefront II comes out, I will likely play it solid for a full solid six months because there will be so many objectives to perform that it will be fun for me—even though in the real world none of it means anything. I mean I can’t take all my Battlefront credits and buy a new car, or a house. But I play because it is a free environment that awards competency and persistence—and that’s why video games are often better than reality.

Just think what would happen if our government just got out-of-the-way and let us all play at life-like we do in video games? That is essentially what Donald Trump is proposing and why those who like to play the stock market are blowing the top off the previous record-breaking ceilings. It’s no question that since Election Day 2016 that just the promise that people could play at the game of economic development opened up the hopes and dreams of a lot of people and that has directly impacted our economy already. For many years I have driven to work in the morning passed many businesses either going out of business or barely hanging on. This morning on my way to work I counted 32 help wanted signs that were not there last month. That is a lot of opportunity that has so far come out of a stock market that jumped from 18,000 to 20,000. Wait until the results of this latest jump yields. It is very optimistic to consider.

Just imagine what would happen if government got out of healthcare and the people in the medical industry were allowed and encouraged to make as much money as they could? Think how much wealth they could create. Jeff Bezos is now the richest person in the world—he alone invented an industry that changed everything in Amazon.com. How do we find the Amazon.com of healthcare if the government is in the way of discovering it? We won’t. Government only makes it so that people don’t want to play at the games of life—and building wealth is a kind of game to the people who have the mind and resources to do so. If they are overly restricted, they’ll sit on their money and spend their money trying to get away from government—or buying it off to keep them out of their pockets.

Atlas Shrugged answered all these questions many years ago yet people are still surprised that Trump has had this kind of effect on the economy so quickly. And that shock will continue for quite a number of years until history solidifies the results so that the stupid people will finally accept it all as a reality. Right now the stupid people want what they know, the selfish aristocracy that claimed to have mystical powers over religion and matters of money. However, smart people know better, and they know that once people see how much fun life can be and how much money they can make in it—they’ll want to play too—and this global push for socialism will lose its audience—and Donald Trump will still be president and the Dow will be up over 30,000.

How much do you wanna’ bet?

The Criminal Democrats: Debbie Wasserman Schultz is again in trouble–like all the rest of them

I would have thought that the arrest of the IT guy for Debbie Wasserman Schultz trying to leave the country would have been the top billing on the news cycles—but it wasn’t. The guy was being charged with bank fraud and had attempted to destroy evidence before fleeing the United States once he knew authorities were on to him. It’s not like the guy was a temp employee with low-level access to sensitive material, Imran Awan was a long-time employee for Wasserman Schultz and was certainly there when she was running the DNC but was fired at the convention last summer for the misconduct that hackers revealed about her dealings. Why is it that if Don Jr. sneezes it’s a big story and a scandal, or President Trump can say he’s disappointed in AG Jeff Sessions and its wall to wall coverage—but when Democrats break the law in spectacular ways, the same level of scrutiny is not applied to them? That is of course a hypothetical, we know the answer—it’s because Republicans tend to be soft and way too forgiving allowing themselves to be manipulated and even made fools of out of a fear of conflict. That is why criminal Democrats are allowed to break the law at every decision gate but Republicans are held to impossibly high standards. In the Wasserman Schultz case I read about the arrest earlier in the day but noticed that the news outlets didn’t cover it on prime time until Sean Hannity came on the air at 10 PM.

I thought the two speeches Trump gave this week to the public were fabulous, first at the Boy Scout event in West Virginia then up in Youngstown, Ohio. Given the weak nature of the Republicans on the Sunday shows ahead of the healthcare vote in the Senate, I wouldn’t trust them either and if I had something to say, I’d go straight to the people too. Trump is the Republican party now, everyone else either gets behind him or they paint themselves as part of the opposition. We’re not talking about a world in which everyone has ideas and brings them together in debate under the umbrella of a republic. Some ideas are better than other ideas—ideas are not equal. And in this media frenzy environment the exchange of ideas is being tainted by actual criminal conduct—so good ideas are often buried under the antics of illegal activity at the highest levels of government. And when Senators showed they were so willing to allow for socialized medicine to run its course without taking action against it, it was obvious that we were in trouble. Trump looked around and saw Robert Mueller hire a bunch of liberal lawyers to expand their investigation into Trump’s family—widening the net because there wasn’t anything so far found in the Russian story made up by the media to explain why the Democrats lost to a political novice. Republicans were supportive of the widening investigation and for Trump, that was it. He decided it was time to fight back—and I am personally glad he did. We all know what’s going on. But what we aren’t used to are Republicans who will actually push back. Trump is the first I’ve ever seen who was willing to punch back at the criminals who constantly come forth from the Democratic party.

Why is it that so many Democrats find themselves in such tumultuous scandals? Debbie Wasserman Schultz isn’t the only one—Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch and even Barack Obama have done much worse—specifically using the IRS as a personal political weapon against conservative groups. At this point there is no doubt that it was the activist Obama White House that ordered using the IRS as such a political weapon and that should have been one of the biggest scandals in the history of politics. Much, much worse than Don Jr. meeting some Russian lawyer for opposition research. Follow the Democrats around to see how many similar meetings they had with “opposition research” including colluding with NBC to do a hit piece on Trump just a few weeks before the election with the Access Hollywood tapes. The biggest difference is that the Democrats have most of the media under their control. On the conservative Right, we have Sean Hannity and a few other radio talk show hosts. But on television—there’s not much. Even ol’ Bill O’Reilly who was a moderate at best was too much for the Democrats. They ran Bill off of Fox News with completely made up crap and like the nice guy he is, he took it. So there really aren’t people in the media who reflect the masses of America giving Democrats a free pass at breaking the law because nobody holds them accountable in the media. And it’s been that way for a long time.

How many people like Geno DiFabio are there in the world—the lifelong Democrat who came on stage in Youngstown to hug Trump and show his support of the new president? A lot? I know a whole lot of people just like Geno. They are not political ideologists who are dedicated to a party—but they are regionally motivated by the values of their community. And those values are radically different in Youngstown than they are in Santa Monica. They all might call themselves Democrats but the people in Youngstown aren’t sipping lattes by the pier giggling about their new tattoos their parents don’t know about. They are trying to make mortgage payments on homes they bought when the steel industry was strong in the “steel valley.” Now their kids have grown and see no reason to stay in the region—because there’s no economic opportunity for them. The Democrats were too busy shipping off American jobs to make the world more “fair” than in protecting people like Geno. So those people voted for Trump and will continue to do so as long as Trump fights on their behalf. And Trump can’t do that sitting in the White House acting “presidential” or otherwise “above the fray.”

Trump said some very interesting things in his speech in Youngstown. It is more difficult to take his case on the road than to sit around the Oval Office like Obama did complaining about in the ineffectiveness of congress and signing executive orders. Trump expects to actually do things and he can’t in Washington D.C. The people there—Republicans and Democrats, don’t want to do anything and they use crime to secure their tendency to be lazy by always hiding behind one scandal after another keeping them in a perpetual state of appearing busy. So the game continues, Democrats break the law to keep scandal fresh and give lazy reporters soap opera topics to cover, Republicans play the role of the Washington Generals as the “ethical losers,” the valiant servants who are always one step behind the Democrat. We elected Trump to break that cycle and to do that he has to come out of the swamp often and speak directly to the people through Twitter and these public events. The game in Washington is well established and is a criminal enterprise—and their anger at Trump runs deep because he’s an attack on their core culture. But what they don’t understand is that it’s not Trump they have to worry about—it’s the people who elected him—people like Geno. Trump gives people hope that crimes will finally be prosecuted and that Americans can win again. If that hope is taken away—then there will be real problems. The game is over for Democrats. They can either go to jail nicely, or they will utterly be destroyed. Republicans are going to have to actually stand for something and expect to win for a change instead of playing the fool.

They Have it Coming: Trump and his supporters tried to make peace–but the other side picked war

Donald Trump tried to play nice. He started his presidency not wanting to prosecute his political rivals, in allowing Democrats to join Republicans in legislative actions. He even wanted to make good with the press—he sat down with The New York Times—a newspaper he has always loved, and tried to offer them an olive branch of peace before his inauguration even started. All those idiots swiped away that offering and chose to aggressively prosecute Trump and his family in a desperate effort to save the swamp in Washington D.C., the K-Street money, the bribes, the sex, the massive corruption that goes on unimpeded—and has for years. That is until we elected a president to put a stop to all that. And now after watching the testimony of Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and the way that Republicans have drag-assed the healthcare debate trying to hide behind the phony Russian investigations to avoid dealing directly with the president at the head of their party—it is obvious that its time to doing some firing—and prosecution and to take this fight to those who deserve it most—and not to look back.

That clip by Sean Hannity demonstrates the problem pretty clear—have you ever been to Russia or anywhere near that land mass dear reader? They do not have the power that Democrats are tying to give them. They are not a superpower any longer and they certainly are not superior to American means of global conduct. Anyone who is hiding behind this made-up Russian story of collusion is part of the problem. Russia can barely build a road let alone influence an American election. They have their spies and their manipulations—as everyone does, but these are not James Bond villains from the 60s. They are a country struggling to find their voice in a noisy world and they just don’t have the money to be a major player the way that Democrats are trying to portray. Trump won the election because he was the better candidate and using a Russia story to cover up what a bunch of idiots they have been won’t help them.

It’s not Donald Trump’s fault that most of the people he’s dealing with are idiots—and criminals. And its time for his administration to start cutting off heads and firing people left and right—especially the Obama holdovers—Washington as a culture does not want to work with this president, so fire them all and bring in people who do. The time for playing nice is over. Trump tried, but he has been turned down, even by those in his own party. It was pathetic to watch Republicans struggle with a healthcare debate vote—which for them it should have been easy. The reason it wasn’t is why most of them need to go. For the same reasons that many were upset that Trump ended last week a CIA program to fund terrorists in Syria—people like John McCain were against the move because they want a mess in the Middle East. They don’t want to solve any problems, they want to make them so that their financial backers will continue to support their campaigns—it’s usually as simple as that.

Their financial backers have business in the chaos—that’s why they want politicians who create chaos in the first place. That’s how the swamp was created. Trump pulled out of the program because that essentially kills ISIS. Do you know dear reader how much the bullets cost that you see those towel headed idiots shooting in the air in the Middle East? They “ain’t” cheap, let me tell you that, and the terrorist aren’t paying for those bullets. What are they going to buy them with—bread, dirt, and soiled baby cloths? They have no economy in those regions to buy such things with—so who gives them the guns and bullets? Trump knows what’s going on and to keep him from doing anything about it the Swamp has created this false Russian story to keep the chaos going. The weapons are provided to them—in many cases by our own government to plant the seeds of chaos to have some leverage situation in the region. Because Trump is doing things like that, opponents from both parties are getting behind this made up Russian story to attempt to stop him from doing more—and for the last six months it has kept the new president from getting to the meat and potatoes of the Beltway problems.

It’s time to prosecute Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton—Eric Holder, Barack Obama and all their staffs and supporters and to put their asses in front of the senate and to get to the real crimes that have been committed for which they are attempting to hide with all this chaos against Trump. And let’s not forget Lois Lerner. Trump offered them all the olive branch and they chose war—so give it to them. At this point nobody can call Trump a war monger, or an emperor of our republic because he sincerely tried not to be. But the swamp took the first swipe and in order to do his job properly, he has to get aggressive. I know he wanted to avoid that—but the other sided chose their path so now its time to pay.

Its one thing to play fair and to be “presidential,” but it’s quite another to take a compassionate stance while real villains filled with fangs intent to draw blood come at your family and drag them through the mud to prove a point and send a message. Trump isn’t about to take that and I support him one hundred percent. If he fired everyone in Washington D.C. I’d still be with him. If he cut every budget by lobbying against this congress to get a better one in 2018, I would still support him. It would anger me too if I were their father to see Don Jr. and Jared Kushner treated so terribly as they have been in an attempt to paint them into a defensive posture regarding Russia. They certainly don’t deserve it—the only crime they have committed was in being successful. Successful international businessmen typically have relations with people all over the world—Russia included. That does not define why Trump won the election. The Democrats lost because they were terrible, corrupt, and just plain stupid. And their Saul Alinsky tricks no longer work so they are completely lost as to what to do next.

The press picked their part in this and they too deserve what’s coming. They have sided with literally the villains in American politics and have positioned themselves for a complete failure. That isn’t Trump’s fault, it’s theirs. The Hollywood crowd has additionally placed their ideology outside of American sentiment—and they are paying for it at the box office. If anyone was paying attention to the Comic Con 2017 in San Diego last weekend the mood was a retrofit of the 1980s again, people want to feel positive about things and the 1980s were a time of feeling good about America. People crave to feel good about the team they are on and so far only Trump is offering that path in the 2020 period—forty years later. Two projects, one from Steven Spielberg, and another from Netflix, Stranger Things II feature plotlines set against the back drop of the 1980s optimism for the future. People in Middle America and elsewhere in the world do not want the dystopian vision that the Democrats have attempted to project in their grabs for a single payer option in health care and a society regressing back to nature. They literally want to reach for the stars and if there is any single reason that Trump was elected over Democratic options it was that message of optimism behind the fighter that was struggling to explode forth. It had nothing to do with Russia! It was all about a vision and approach for the future.

We have a president of the United States right now who has written more best-selling books than anybody who has ever been in that office. He is a more complete person than has ever been in the executive branch and the people who have lived off chaos for so long know that the game is up. Their only defense was to keep him on the ropes defending every little piece of nonsense they could think of daily. But we’ve reached that saturation point. Trump isn’t going to allow for all this to consume him and his family. Once the media drug his family into it—it was over for them. Trump doesn’t need the presidency to define his success as a person. He already has that. He became president over the traditional do nothings because of his accomplishments—so it’s a whole new game in politics—forever.

It may be painful for some, but Trump has to prosecute and terminate the employment of the Obama era holdovers and not worry about what the congress and senate thinks. Trump sincerely tried so now he can take an ax to it all and feel good about it. The inability to do anything with healthcare while Republicans held all three houses was the final straw—and now its time to pay for everything. And that starts with the Attorney General position prosecuting the real crimes that took place during the 2016 election. It’s not out of spite that this must be done—it’s because the Democrats framed the argument and now that same measure must be applied to them.

The Truth About Stonehenge: Comments about the absurdity of summer solstice rituals

Visiting Stonehenge for me recently was one of the most important things I’ve ever done. It wasn’t just a bucket list item that I wanted to see at least once in my life—it was crucial. I have read so many books starting at a very young age where Stonehenge was contemplated that I needed to see the place in person. But to get to it you have to make a trip to England—and to do that you have to see a lot of other things and London usually has some part to play in such an expedition—so enough time in a schedule is necessary to accommodate such a task. However, this year I was able to get there and it was everything I expected and more. More than anything I was extremely impressed by the position the Neolithic complex held on the high plains of western England and the relation that all the mounds in the surrounding countryside had with the ancient stone ritual center. I think Stonehenge is remarkable in many different ways and its history is quite vast—much deeper than what the type of people who showed up at the summer solstice events which happen every year where druid loving people watch the sun rise on the longest day of the year.

I watched the events that these types of people participate in and it actually makes me pretty mad. The druids were not in any way involved with building Stonehenge. Their Celtic heritage is just another rendition of the modern nature worshipping hippie—the earth first losers who plague our modern politics with wishy-washy sentiment rooted in a new religion—making Mother Earth the new Yahweh or Shiva. For them and their followers of the modern age—Stonehenge is an earth worshipping symbol that a bunch of second handers from the region of Germany adopted to have sex parties and conduct themselves foolishly while under the ground dating back over 10,000 years were the relics of civilizations’ origins waiting still to be discovered. The reasons for Stonehenge’s alignments to the sun and other celestial bodies go far beyond the natural worshipping druids.

Yet like the American Indian the true meaning of the people who built Stonehenge goes undetected because intellectual curiosity cannot get past the necessity for spiritual redemption. Even the people studying Stonehenge cannot help but be pulled into the earth worship distortion that people like these druid lovers bring to the site during real archaeological study. When I was there the obvious layers of observation was distinctly obvious. On the surface, you have all these conclusions that are wrapped up in the methods of druid mythology which has always been associated with the site—unjustifiably. The druids came along many centuries after the final stages of construction at Stonehenge in 2500 BC. But to look properly at Stonehenge you have to be willing to look at Old Sarum to the south and Avebury to the north—as well as many hundreds of earthworks over the 50 miles of regional coverage. There was a lot going on in that region of England dating from the end of the last Ice Age to the relative present of 4000 years ago. For many millenniums—much longer than our present age—the Stonehenge region was very important and it goes well beyond the need to worship the earth.

Dating back 10,000 years—at least, are the skeletons of many sacrificed animals. What we know of Stonehenge and its modern rocks were built on the sacrificial site of these animal bones. Even in recent years—the last stages of Stonehenge after final construction, human sacrifices where happening with frequency—many of them quite brutal. I’m inclined to think that the stone alignments with the various solstices had less to do with celestial worship and more to do with keeping track of their progress throughout the year—likely to mark the points in time where interactions with important events occurred—such as when it became known how to calculate complicated mathematical concepts among a bunch of supposed nomads hunting and gathering for their entire lives and doing nothing else. Somewhere along the line of this 10,000-year span something happened that made people do remarkable things in that rather unremarkable landscape.

Then there is the problem of understanding that the builders of Stonehenge were not a regional phenomenon, but a global one. I am quite convinced after visiting Stonehenge and seeing things with my own eyes that the same people who built that place were also in North America building the many similar structures still seen all over the Americas. We are likely looking at a society that was much more advanced than we give it credit for, and was likely part of the culture that existed all over the world prior to the time the Book of Genesis was written. Many calculate that the Great Deluge took place around 2348 BCE which is just a few hundred years after the final touches of Stonehenge so we are dealing with more than just mythology and Earth worshiping killers. We’re dealing with a particularly potent hidden history that is right in front of our faces—yet we hide the truth behind our recent religious inventions—and that is compelling.

Evidence of life—even giant stones like what we see at Stonehenge do not last very long. Once you apply 20 or 30,000 years of wear to anything it often becomes unrecognizable and that to me is the most compelling aspect of the Neolithic monuments surrounding the Stonehenge area. Without question to me the same culture that built Stonehenge ended up in some way in North America and likely China. Without question, there were global sea trade routes moving all around the world at a time when we think of the people of Stonehenge as being separate and rising independently. The evidence simply doesn’t support that if you look at everything instead of just the Stonehenge complex. And then there is the case of the American Indian—they are obviously from the China region and settled in North America as a separate transaction of migration and they were interacting with these Stonehenge people—whoever they were—well before the druids walked out of Germany. All this is very revolutionary and certainly changes what we know about our own history. That’s why I so badly wanted to visit the site in person as opposed to reading about it as I have so much. It is clear that even lifelong researchers into Stonehenge are trying to fit it into what we know about science, instead of letting history properly tell its story with us being a willing audience. We’ve tried too hard to shape the narrative to fit our comfort level.

The biggest question about Stonehenge is—why there, and likely that answer is due to events that occurred before the Ice Age even happened. The uneventful plain of land in western England did not suddenly just pop up all these really remarkable monuments—something inspired people to do these things at a great cost to themselves—and that is where we need answers—and we’re not going to get it by watching a bunch of hippies worship the sun. I think the reason the sun was so important to all these ancient people clearly marks their need to demonstrate to the political masses a way to tell time. The sacrificial elements that often come out of collapsing societies tend to be what we study but the initial cause is where the focus should be. Why, and why there?

The mathematics involved alone extend well beyond the achievements of Greek study—it is time to accept that Greek and Roman empires were only ages and that all this had come before in times long forgotten. I think Stonehenge says to us that society wasn’t so primitive—at least aspects of it. People may have come from the surrounding countryside to become part of something bigger, and wiser at Stonehenge, and Avebury, but the people who built all these things were far less nomadic than we want to admit. They were rather advanced and that is something we need to deal with. They were a global society, not a regional one. It may take us 100 to 200 more years to find enough evidence to support some of the things I’ve said here, but the evidence is stacking up, and much of this is obvious. We just need more evidence before re-writing history books. But mark what I’m saying here, these druid rituals are just a bunch of left leaning hippies who are trying to use history to justify their religion of Mother Earth worship. They are as loony as the fools who sacrificed other human beings at Stonehenge trying to make it rain. They are not the builders of Stonehenge, or the causes for why it’s there to begin with. They are just more of a second-hand civilization riding the coattails of greatness and hoping that they can loot the credit for it over the lens of history. So far it has worked for them, but the evidence emerging is telling us the truth, and they are certainly blind to it.

Democrats Are Responsible for Hodgkinson Assassination Attempt: How, when, why and where liberals use violence to advance their cause

No, it’s not up to “us” to make the lunatic liberals who are communist activists feel better when they go too far as to actually attempt to assassinate public officials, to stick up our hands and say we are equally at fault for the rhetoric of our nation. We are at war with them—they started it—and it is completely up to them to correct the situation. We put up with Barack Obama and his cadre of terrorist friends—(like Bill Ayers) for many years. We didn’t like him, we spoke against him and we worked to get him out of office. But we certainly didn’t try to kill him or even play dirty. Republicans if they are anything tend to be overly honest and good, “turn the other cheek, Christians” even to a fault. So “we” are not equally responsible for what the Bernie Sanders presidential volunteer did at an Alexandria, Virginia baseball field when he shot up a bunch of congressional Republicans practicing for a charity game. The fault is clearly with the leftist supporters of Hillary Clinton who like Snoop Dog and Madonna have simulated executions of President Trump for months in their “art” and disguised their message of assassination command behind the veil of “free speech.” They knew what they were doing—they hoped one of their followers would “sacrifice” themselves the way that ol’ James Hodgkinson did—with violence under the banner of terrorism to stop the Republican advance since the 2016 elections. The only difference between Democrats and ISIS is that the Middle Eastern terrorist organization at least admits what they are up to. The Democrats hide their true intentions which is often exposed when they are under pressure—such as they are now. They don’t want to get along. They want to destroy traditional value in America and they’ll stop at nothing—even murder to do it. Both Democrats and ISIS depend on terrorism of some form to advance their causes through fear. So, in that respect, their motives cannot be separated.

When Ted Nugent declared he would not participate in hateful rhetoric anymore the day after the shooting by James Hodgkinson he gave the left what they wanted—what the political right always gives the left—a branch of peace and a seat at the table complete with a hug and reassurance. But these people deserve none of it. The Huffington Post and many other progressive outlets took the Nugent story and ran with it so that other progressives would know that their terrorism had scored a hit and softened the resolve of the Trump base. That is how these very evil and vile people play the game—they do bad things, throw themselves on the sword to gain the sympathy of others and out of compassion they pull you in to their crimes corrupting forever those who offer out a kind hand of solidarity—then they cut your throat while you sleep. No, that’s not how this game is going to go down.

I in no way would call myself a radical “fringe” Republican. I love old westerns, the old television show Little House on the Prairie, and old Disney shows like Zorro and Davy Crockett. Both of my grandparents were farmers and my mother was a housewife. I went to church almost every Sunday during my youth—up until the wife of the pastor of my church wanted a divorce from him. When he (the pastor) failed to hold his marriage together I left the church because if that could happen to him—something was wrong and I resolved not to listen to people who didn’t have all the answers in life. I’ve always worked hard, treated people fairly—I don’t like to drink, I have never smoked, and I despise drugs, loose sex, and reckless living—for which tattoos are a part of. I have watched over my years specifically, the world move dramatically to the political left, but I have not moved at all. So what is considered the radical fringe right is now where I am standing. But that is only so as defined by the radical lunatic communist leftists who have moved that perception through popular culture so far away from what used to be normal that it looks that way as defined now—in these crazy, turbulent times.

I’m hardly some underwear wearing basement blogger who can’t function in the outside world. I’ve turned down radio jobs, television offers and political advisor positions to do what I do for a living which as of now is international business. I like challenges and am active in the world—very much so. I’m what many would consider extremely successful in all aspects of my life. I was in Chef Ramsey’s restaurant in Chelsea, London a few months ago enjoying a very nice lunch—3 Michelin Star ecstasy—but of course during the three-hour meal I had to use the restroom. Ramsey’s Chelsea restaurant is small—even though it is quite exquisite—it’s a little place. So it only had one restroom—and it was a typical unisex European kind of thing. When I walked in a very beautiful woman was standing in front of the mirror so I was concerned that I walked into the women’s restroom and for that she gave me a little giggle. I stepped out and immediately tried to go into the kitchen deducing that obviously the men’s room was in there. The staff politely told me that the room with the beautiful woman in it was in fact the place I was supposed to be, so I proceeded cautiously. Once in there the woman shook my hand and let me know that she was OK with everything, and not to worry. She simply said, “Americano, yes.” Not having anything else proper to say I replied with a smile, “That obvious, huh?” For which she nodded and returned to her mirror where she was adjusting her makeup. I could tell hundreds of similar stories about European travel but my overall impression was that they were pretty “fu**ed up.” There wasn’t anything about their culture that I thought America should learn from except for maybe more of a love for books and fewer restrictions on the sciences—such as archaeological endeavors which work pretty well in Europe due to all the history recorded there. Europe is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Yet these new American leftists want to turn America into Europe essentially, and I’m not OK with that. Believe me, I’ve been around the world enough to know what I like and want. My views aren’t just because I live in a “midwestern bubble of conservatism.” I’ve even done work in Hollywood and have known my share of stars and producers. I’ve heard their perspective and I’m not buying into it. They haven’t changed my mind about things—let’s just say that. Most of the time the people I have interacted with have wrecked lives based on their stupid left-winged philosophy and it’s never been tempting to me at all.

These leftists moved into America and shipped in ideas that run counter to the traditions of this country shortly before World War II and have been taking over our institutions with a military like zeal for nearly 100 years now—and conservatives like me have been very gracious along the way—thinking that we could have an honest philosophical debate and let bygones be bygones. When Obama was elected and Democrats crammed Obamacare down our throats shortly before Christmas in 2010—and Nancy Pelosi said we had to “pass the bill to read what was in the bill” many of us took that as a final straw. We were no longer going to put up with the communist insurrection that was hiding itself behind the Democratic Party—so we took steps to fight back and six years later we had Trump in the White House to “Make American Great Again” meaning—a restoration of the traditions and attitudes that made America great prior to World War II. That didn’t mean we wanted to slap women around and put them “back in the kitchen fetching beers for their men lazily sitting on a couch watching football” but to open doors for ladies at restaurants, at least respect our neighbors, and promote the idea in our children of working hard and smart so that they could live a productive life.

The political leftists always intended to take over our country, they weren’t trying to live within its framework—which is why they support illegal immigration so aggressively—because they want people from other places to help them change America into something else. They thought they could shame the rest of us into putting up with it along the way—which ultimately led to the shooting by James Hodgkinson. It’s not Republicans who go around shooting presidents and congressman—it’s always been liberals because the essence of their political philosophy is group assimilation through intimidation and raw force. It starts in the liberal public education system with kids making fun of other kids who aren’t members of their peer group for a strange haircut or a medical condition then it ends in congress or the senate using phony intelligence information from our covert institutions to attempt to drive an honestly elected president out of office by a media that thinks it’s in charge of something as an unelected layer of government. It’s a contaminated infestation of foreign ideas that do not work and America rejected it when given the option. So the political left seeks to remove any options such as they are doing now, and when shaming people doesn’t work—they turn to violence.

I remember when it was a huge controversy that the Devil in the television show, The Bible looked like Obama, just a few years ago. That is about the worst that conservatives ever did to Obama. Sure they questioned his birth certificate—for good reason. They questioned his ties to domestic terrorists for good reason—and they hated him for going around the world bowing to world leaders and weakening our foreign policy everywhere—seemingly on purpose. But we didn’t shoot up congress and we certainly didn’t put out stuff trying to incite our base into killing the president the way Kathy Griffin did and many others on the political “MAINSTREAM LEFT.” We’re not talking about fringe people—we’re talking about Madonna, Snoop Dog and the entire art community of Broadway—the people who establish “popular culture.” The political left overestimated their own power when they took over all our entertainment and media institutions thinking that they could turn all of America into drooling idiots similar to what they did in Europe. What they ended up with is only half the nation going toward their side leaving the other half very upset and ready to fight. So we elected Donald Trump as a “non-violent solution” to their long-term attack on our country as a “domestic enemy.” We stopped watching their television shows, their news reporting and reading their papers driving their numbers down toward desperation. Knowing that, they have turned toward violence because they have nothing else.

Without question when the cameras weren’t rolling Kathy Griffin, Snoop Dog and Madonna along with hundreds if not thousands of other entertainment types hoped that their violent “art” would provoke someone like James Hodgkinson into committing an act they never could—like taking violence to the enemy—the heart of America—a baseball game between Republicans and Democrats. They also knew that invoking such violence would force everyone to look at how they’ve contributed to the situation and reassess their input, like Ted Nugent has. And by doing so, they get conservatives to admit to a fault for which they played no part of. So, no, we aren’t going to be playing that game. “We” meaning conservatives, did not contribute to the split in this country, or the angry discourse. That is completely under the ownership of liberals. They decided through aggression to antagonize the traditions of America and half the nation refused to go along and are now in open defiance. The introduction of the hostilities came from the left—not from the right—and the mandate to defend themselves from an insurrection falls on the political right. It’s not extreme to want to protect what you value and if tradition is it, then that is their prerogative. But conservatives are not at fault in the least for the violence that let to James Hodgkinson. The political left, the radical leftist loons who have nothing to win an argument with in America only have the threat of violence to stay alive in this political theater. And it is they who deserve to feel the pain and punishment of these terrible crimes.

Mad Maxine Waters: A note to Republicans to proceed in destroying the Democratic Party forever

It should be obvious by now dear reader, usually when I write something here you are peering about 24 months into the future. I’ve explained it before how that works but if you need a review, just search for The Metaphysics of Quality here on this site and the science is explained clearly. But all this stuff happening to the Democratic Party is occurring right on schedule. Now it’s time to go for the jugular and eliminate them as a political rival.

https://twitter.com/overmanwarrior/status/871873786169131008

The Republicans are already split and it will be between them that all the new politics of the United States emerge. What’s left of the Democrats now is this insane lunacy that we’ve been seeing from their most vocal activists—and it’s just not going to hold water with the American people. Of that lunacy Maxine Waters is one of the worst—she is the one calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump and advocating the Russian conspiracy which has no evidence to support it at all because she has nothing else to point to. The Democrats have taken a sharp turn further to the left because the Donald Trump presidency has pushed them to it and that puts them firmly in the grip of Maxine Waters. For the sake of America it’s time to just put a dagger in them and be done with the Democrats, and for that this video done by Alex Jones on Mad Maxine is just the right approach.

After some of the dumb things that Democrats like Maxine have done over the last couple of weeks, nobody in their right mind is going to give them money. Already after just two quarters of fundraising Democrats are down in revenue and they aren’t looking good for having money for the midterms in 2018. They really need to start putting money in their war chests now but instead they are getting wrapped up in all these conspiracy theories and standing against the new President Trump. Meanwhile the stock market is closing at all time highs and Trump is starting to sink roots with foreign policy success. Roughly a million jobs have been created and unemployment is way down—so the Democrats are going to have nothing in the tank once it’s revealed that there is nothing to the Russia story. The Democrats are literally following people like Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters over the cliff and as a Republican, that’s what we want to see.

The liberal media is already in trouble, cord cutters are canceling their cable subscriptions and more people are turning to social media to get their news now than they ever have before. That means sites like this one have more news influence than what CNN and others have enjoyed in the past, so their time is done regarding control of the narrative. So now is the time to strike Republicans and you must do it without the usual guilt and compassion displayed. Hit them hard and do it fast. Democrats are vulnerable. They are losing elections and moderates have to make a choice against them—Trump has given them that out—so the Democrats can’t recover. And their public relation problems of late will be the end of them. After losing the elections of 2016 there isn’t any prospect of picking up seats in 2018 because their platform is stale, then of course there is the money problem that they have.

Don’t feel bad in going after Mad Maxine and Kathy Griffin, and all these other liberal losers. It’s OK to sweep them away from the political discourse because their essential philosophy doesn’t have any relevancy in the kind of America we are going to be. After six more months of Trump these Democrats will be even worse off. They have to act this way because their ideas just can’t compete. The Russia story that Mad Maxine is proposing is really their only hope, and that one is a fleeting one.

As we’ve discussed before, this is a war. In war one side loses and the other side wins. Having compassion for a fallen enemy isn’t good in the realm of strategy and I think we all have to agree that the Democrats are the enemy—they stand for death—abortion is still the leading cause of death in America—not guns. Democrats stand for the destruction of the American family, they support compassion for terrorism and they are against economic development. Democrats are idiots and they are vile creatures who don’t belong in America. They are more inclined to be like our European neighbors which is fine if they want to go and live there. But to change America into some European hell-hole—that just isn’t permissible.

When Maxine Waters is one of the leaders of the Democratic Party that’s when you know that you are out of weapons, so now is the time to pounce. Don’t hold back—destroy the Democrats and their liberal media. Suck up their ratings, knock them off the air and don’t let up. Look what they did to Bill O’Reilly and are continuing to do to people like Sean Hannity. They’ll do it to you too if you let them. They have been playing for keeps so now is the time to do the same to them. Letting these idiots stick around means danger in the future. Hollywood is on the ropes, all the people who have come out against Trump are finding it hard to sell their movies—ticket sales are way down. All the networks on television are struggling—and that means donations to Democrats will continue to drop in the coming months exacerbating the situation for them. There is no hope short of a major mistake by Donald Trump and the Republicans that can save the Democrats now. It’s like a football game where the score is 72 to 3 in favor of the Republicans in the fourth quarter with 2 minutes left on the clock. If Republicans could get Trump’s agenda done before Labor Day there would be no legislative accomplishments for Democrats to run on in 2018 because all these things, Obamacare being repealed, and tax cuts are popular with people—more than 50 percent of the country. Then there is the deregulation that Trump has implemented through Executive Orders and the assurance that stepping away from the Paris accord would save American businesses from their crippling effects. So there’s a lot to like and all the Democrats have are failed policies and conspiracy theories. They are far worse off than Republicans ever have been—and they have no money to change their terrible situation.

Hillary Clinton’s meltdown this past week was somewhat justifiable from the Democratic point of view. She had been the major mechanism for fundraising for Democrats and the entire party was built around the connections she and her husband built during the 90s. Essentially all these liberal media types are the creation of the Clinton White House from 1992 to 2000. The Hollywood machine is part of that same creation which is why so many of them are liberal now as opposed to how it used to be. Democrats and their supporters planned this long magnificent presidential run for Hillary starting the moment her husband left office. She moved to New York so she could become a senator. Then she tried to run for president on time in 2008 but she lost to a person of color because the party felt that was more important at the time. She signed up as Secretary of State for the experience so that she could run in 2016—so this was a long time and coming. The investments by the Democrats was always a double whammy, a black president then the first woman president—built with 16 years of nearly pure socialism. The nation would be unrecognizable by the end of that—and that was their plan at all levels. But then Trump happened and in just three months he erased all the gains progressives had made over 24 years of holding the White House and the champion of Democratic fundraising was now a vanquished soul roaming the woods distraught and clueless—and all the Democrats have left in the tank is Mad Maxine. What we are seeing from Democrats, especially this week after a very successful foreign policy trip by Trump is listless desperation on their part to stay relevant. However nothing they are doing is working and they know it. The more they try actually the worse it is for them.

So do them in, end the Democratic Party and let’s move on. There is enough political division among Republicans to quell any concerns about being too one-sided politically. I really think Trump represents the new left whereas real conservatives will emerge as the opposing party—which is likely how it should be in the United States given the kind of demographic variety that we do have—the essence of our nation is one that is rooted in capitalism and the appreciation for life—all life. The means to get there is where the differences come from, but I think the nation as a whole can agree on those basic fundamentals once Democrats are out of the way and moving back to Europe. With that in mind Republicans, put them out of business for good—because they’d be happy to do it to you. And there’s more at stake than just taking the moral high ground. We have to destroy the enemies at our gate and on that list of insurgents is Mad Maxine Waters—not because she’s black, or because she’s a woman—but because she’s an idiot.

Kathy Griffin’s Lunacy: Remembering the cross-hairs of Sarah Palin

Kathy Griffin did make me laugh, which is what she says she aspires to, but not for the reasons she desired. I laughed because her press conference was so insane that it was out of this world funny. Griffin and her ridiculously idiotic lawyer, Lisa Bloom made absolute assess of themselves which provoked in me more laughter than I’ve had in years over their astonishing claims of victim hood.

https://twitter.com/overmanwarrior/status/871128608215105537

It was Kathy Griffin who put herself in that situation by filming a scene of her holding the severed head of Donald Trump—a sitting president—obviously attempting to provoke enough anger among her base to trigger someone into committing an assassination attempt. If the political left’s standard of social responsibility is to be gauged the way that they did when Sarah Palin used gun targets on her website as a way to indicate elected positions that needed to be challenged by Republicans and was blamed for instigating assassination conjecture against Gabrielle Gifford—then what Kathy Griffin did can in no way be taken as anything but a direct threat against the President of the United States where jail time is mandated at the very least. Yet here were these two lunatic women—people I traditionally refer to as latté sipping prostitutes because of my own experience with people like this who hide their crazy terrorism behind a social shield of femininity, actually held a big press conference and attempted to play the victim. It was amazingly ludicrous.

You remember all that don’t you dear reader-the situation with Sarah Palin. Well, the social norms for this kind of thing were established by the media on the political left during that debate which really hurt Sarah Palin. She never did really recover over what was technically an innocent use of a graphic to draw focus onto political districts up for grabs in future elections—yet the left insisted that what Palin did was wrong and grossly immoral. So using that same standard what other bases do we have to go on over the pop singer Madonna’s threat to blow up the White House and now this celebrity comic seeking to incite an assassination attempt ISIS style against a sitting president because she doesn’t like the election results which literally just happened a few months ago?

How can we take what Kathy Griffin did as anything but a direct threat? It wasn’t funny in the least and she looked quite serious when she did it. There are a lot of crazy people out there and all we can conclude was that she was trying to set one of them off with this reckless publicity stunt to kill the president. So yeah, the Secret Service has a right to investigate her and probably prosecute her. What she did was not only in bad taste, it was technically illegal. The Trump family had a right to be upset about it and they acted with a lot of class in response. The fault of the entire situation rested with Kathy Griffin and her handlers which Lisa Bloom was obviously part of and they all deserve what’s coming due to their loss in credibility.

Comics, actors and liberal lawyers don’t get to swipe at a lion then wonder why the lion eats them by screaming for the 1^st Amendment to protect them. Comics are not a protected class. If it’s good for them, then they can get it coming back. Kathy Griffin did destroy her career this past week when she held up that head of what was supposed to be Donald Trump. If anybody had done something like that during Barack Obama’s presidency the person who did it would have been the subject of Ferguson style riots and they likely would have been lynched on the spot by the political left and their street level minions. I remember being on 700 WLW radio with Doc Thompson several years ago when Obama launched a website called Attack Watch which people like us were on just for showing an opposition toward the president’s policies. Listen below for review. We remember how it felt to be the opposing party of a sitting president—and we remember how close we all came to tyranny in America. Using the political left’s own criteria Kathy Griffin should be in jail right now, she certainly shouldn’t be having a press conference espousing victim-hood.

And that’s what’s so funny about this case, it truly shows how loony the political left really is. I mean we’ve seen it for years and conservatives have sort of laughed it off—we certainly did when they went after Sarah Palin over the website controversy already mentioned, and we did when Obama showed how insecure he was with the Attack Watch threat to put people like me under the threat of government enforcement for just having a different political view. I was always very careful not to do anything that could be construed as a threat even in my own home because I knew they were always listening waiting for me to make a mistake which they could twist into a prosecutable offense. If Kathy Griffin felt she could hold up a severed head in front of a camera imagine what she and her friends talk about at dinner parties and other places where they think nobody on the outside is listening? I’m sure they’ve said things that would put them on a watch list for the Secret Service

We put up with the losers the left has given us for many years and occasionally I would speak with people who wondered why nobody had tried to kill Barack Obama—because we all hated him. The guy didn’t represent us and he was constantly trying to use the power of the federal government to weaken our nation and intrude on our lives. If you look back to that period where the political left made such a big deal about Sarah Palin—which was only 5 to 6 years ago as of this writing, we are a completely different nation now. Even when I had my famous “latté sipping prostitute” scandal in that 2012 time frame we are not the same kind of nation now than we were then. Many more people would agree with me today than they were prepared to admit even back then. That was about as far as any of us on the political right would have went—none of us would have held up a severed head of Barack Obama and thought it appropriate. Even the craziest Alex Jones antics on the air would have refused to have made a direct threat against a sitting president because we at least were that civil. Instead we focused on using the election process to replace all these idiots—which is what we’ve done—and how things are supposed to work. Making threats to kill someone is not appropriate under any condition. And you can’t hide behind “art” hoping to provoke some loser out there into doing the dirty work for you. Kathy Griffin should have known better and her crazy lawyer Lisa Booth shouldn’t have even been near a camera trying to defend what the comedian had done.

At some point the political left and right will cease to be—one side is going to win and one side will lose. The Overton Window will move in one direction and stay there as a reflection of American culture and the left can see that they’ve lost their ground made psychologically over the many years of their insurgency. I didn’t even know who Kathy Griffin was two days ago—but now she put herself on the radar of many conservative people—that vast red space on the political maps of our country that voted for Donald Trump. Kathy is only funny in her groups of liberal friends or with people just as dumb as she is. At least half the nation doesn’t find her brand of comedy funny in the least. I thought it interesting that Jim Carry came out in defense of her—notice he’s not in movies anymore. Nobody wants to see him since he did his hit piece on the memory of Charlton Heston over gun rights. That event pretty much ruined his career and what Kathy did was so much worse. Yet these idiots keep doing these things thinking that they can take shots, but that the shots won’t come back at them. No, that’s not how it works.

For those angry that Donald Trump is the president I have news for you. He’s there because we put him there. He represents people like me. I got sick of the insanity and I wanted a politician in the White House who represented me and the type of people I know to fix the mess that the political left infected us all with. I don’t want to live in their world with their rules. I don’t want to associate with Jim Carry or Kathy Griffin’s wrinkled up old ass in any way. I don’t want them on my television or in my movies and I certainly don’t want their advice. And like I said over seven years ago on a video I did, I don’t think they should even be in America. If they want the kind of society that is typically found in Europe, then move there and live that life. Leave us alone. But Trump isn’t president because of any other factor than that we put him there as the other half of the nation that was just tired of people like Kathy Griffin being in our elected offices. We had enough and voted for someone different and the political left doesn’t have an answer—and we know that.

We didn’t threaten to kill any of your people—not to your faces anyway—and we remained pretty civil even when we had a right to take many things very personal. But we never did what Kathy Griffin did. She did a lot more than cross the line—she showed just how terrible the political left is—and how normal lunacy is on her side of the political aisle. She not only ruined her career, but she inspired many people to snap out of the spell that the political left has on their minds and made them see the light. There are more people leaning right today than left because of Kathy Griffin—but that’s not what’s funny. What made this whole thing such a laughable enterprise was that she actually expected to get away with it revealing the true insanity that was always there but hidden behind social convention. But then to defend it as if she were a victim—now that was hilarious.
